AI Startup 11x Raises $50M, Plans to Launch 20 New AI Agents by 2024
  • The company has successfully raised approximately $76 million in funding, attracting notable investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Benchmark, 20VC, and Lux Capital.

  • In September 2024, 11x secured $50 million in Series B funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, which valued the company at around $320 million.

  • Currently, 11x employs around 50 staff members, having quadrupled its workforce in just three months, primarily by hiring engineers.

  • Looking ahead, 11x plans to launch up to 20 new AI agents in 2024 and is actively seeking skilled engineering teams for acquisitions.

  • CEO Keith Fearon highlighted the importance of acquiring exceptional engineering talent in the AI sector, indicating that revenue is not a priority in these acquisitions.

  • The recent acquisition of Opkit, a voice AI startup backed by Y Combinator, was primarily aimed at enhancing their engineering capabilities.

  • The new AI agents will serve various functions, including revenue operations, sales enablement, customer success, solution engineering, and marketing.

  • In January 2025, 11x will launch Alice 2.0, a significantly improved version of its lead generation agent, rebuilt using advanced large language models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

  • Alongside Alice 2.0, a new version of their multi-lingual voice agent, Jordan 2.0, is also in development, with plans to create at least eight new agents.

  • Founded in London in 2022, 11x is a European AI startup that relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2023 to tap into a larger talent pool and meet investor demand.

  • Alice 2.0 will be fully autonomous and self-learning, capable of analyzing the effectiveness of business messaging and re-engaging sales leads over time.

  • Currently, 11x operates two digital workers: Alice, focused on lead generation and customer outreach, and Jordan, a multi-lingual voice agent handling calls in over 30 languages.
